Nick
Originally from Michigan, Nick moved to Colorado in pursuit of his childhood dream. He loves helping others pursue their own passions and believes any size goal is achievable. Nick enjoys camping and exploring new areas in the mountains in search of bodies of water (because he’s from the Great Lakes State).

Drew
Drew is a native to Colorado and feels most at home on the trails and in the mountains. Drew ran cross country and track throughout high school and ran a single season of cross country in college. He immediately quit collegiate running to pursue trail running and ultra marathons as he finds great joy in getting his butt kicked by big peaks, and that simply was not happening enough while training for flat races.
Lisa
Originally from the Pacific Northwest, Lisa has called Colorado Springs home since 1997. She is the proud mom of 2 teenage boys (18 & 16) who thrives on adventure and connection. Lisa started running as an adult when a friend asked if she would be a training partner for a half marathon in 2011. She has since gone on to run multiple half marathons, a marathon and an ultra. She’s usually training for something!
Seth
Seth has been competing in track since his freshman year of high school and is now a junior running for the UCCS track and field team. He is a heptathlete for the Mountain Lions but his favorite event is javelin. In 2019 he was a Kansas State Champion in the javelin with hopes of becoming a National Champion for UCCS.
Jennifer
Hello! I am a married mother of 2 teenage girls (18 & 16). I was born and raised in the PNW and have lived in the Colorado for 7 years. I love the numerous activities that are available in Colorado. When not working at CRC, I teach yoga and spend time with my family, or out exploring a trail somewhere. I have been running for about 6 years and while I have completed several half marathons, my favorite distance is the fast and fun 5k!
Peyton
Peyton ran four years of high school track and is going into his junior year as a Long Jumper & Triple Jumper for UCCS. He likes to go hiking and camping during his free time.
Zev
Originally raised in Malibu, California, I moved out to Colorado Springs to run for UCCS in 2015. I ran for UCCS for 4 years while studying a BS in Health and Wellness Promotion with a Minor in Nutriton. Currently, I coach cross country and track at Discovery Canyon High School. I also coach with the Kokopelli Racing team, alongside Lisa Rainsberger. When not coaching, I am still training as a distance runner, with goals of qualifying for the 2024 Olympic Marathon Trials. I love everything endurance and one day hope to move up the ranks and become a cross country and track coach at the collegiate level. My goal is to share my experiences with younger athletes and hopefully make them feel confident in their own abilities and show them that anything is achievable, with the right mindset. I love helping people feel good and I am excited to help the Colorado Springs community alongside The Colorado Running Company.
Lindsay
A Colorado native, Lindsay began running in high school for her track team. Now she runs mostly to maintain her sanity while raising three children, working, and attending school. Hiking, camping, and pretty much anything done in the Colorado Mountains are a few of her favorite things to do. At CRC, she can mainly be found behind the scenes.
Conor helped fit me for shoes yesterday and he was amazing. I have never been fitted before and he made the process go smoothly and made sure all of my questions were answered. All of the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about this sport. I will definitely be shopping for my running shoes at The Colorado Running Company and giving them a good recommendation.
